We look forward to trying different wines. Each case has an amazing assorment. Great for gifts too!

For folks like me... who aren't wine "connoisseurs," I was just looking for a site that had good wines at reasonable prices that could teach me about all the various types of wines. Wine Insiders is that site.
I was referred by a friend who sent them my email address. That was more than 3 years ago. But you don't have to go searching for a friend who's already a member - just go to their website, wineinsiders.com.
The thing I've found that sets Wine Insiders apart, is that they don't play favorites, and they don't try to "push" you to certain higher prices selections. You are able to look up whatever kind of wine you like, or, you can try one of their selections - which arrive via email. As an example, recently they put together and then emailed all members a special Thanksgiving case of wine offering. Usually at incredible cost savings! It describes each wine included and why it was selected. You don't HAVE TO buy ANY of their offerings. Instead you can pick and choose whatever you'd like from the inventory - or decide NOT to buy from this special offering.
If you decide to look through the inventory and see an interesting label - click it - and get an in-depth review of the grape variety, where the wine was made, a description of the wines taste, and what foods it goes well with. That's where I learn the most.
My favorite emails to receive are the Wine Insider Price Specials! Where you can shop the entire inventory of wines, and pay one incredible low per bottle price! During these specials I can select wines that are normally priced at $15.00 to $25.00 a bottle and get them for $9.99, or sometimes $8.99, or even $7.99 a bottle during their special sales! And, you can select white wines, red wines, sparkling wines, roses, award winning wines from different collections, from just about every wine growing country on the planet! It's really quite amazing! Here's another great point - SHIPPING IS FREE! Right to your door, or pick up point! (BTW - wines packed so well I've never gotten a broken bottle!)
In the 3 years I've been a member I've bought over 10 cases of wine - generally at right around 60% off the listed price of each bottle. I've really never gotten a horrible bottle of wine! True, my wife and I tend to buy what we like, (isn't that why we buy things?), but every once and a while, we get crazy and buy a bottle of wine from a country we've never been to or even knew made wine - and we STILL haven't been disappointed!
Look, I don't get anything giving Wine Insiders a good review. All I know is that what I've gotten from them, is a great education on some really great wines, and an understanding of how a well-run company can provide a fun service to people who want to take part in it! There's no pressure! Just the joy of drinking what you've ordered. And isn't that why you bought the wines in the first place - to drink them?
Oh yeah, I did get something else... out of necessity. I did "have to" go out and buy a 50 bottle wine rack! (Wine Insiders doesn't sell them). Just because my sideboard cupboard could only hold about 18 bottles of wine behind closed doors. And I'd have to get down on my knees and pullout each bottle to see what was left! My new wine rack is wrought iron wiring, with a cool vine and leaf motif. It sits in the shaded corner of our dining room and I can see what wines I need to replenish by just standing in front of it. And our guests even say it's a pretty addition.
Look, I'm going to finish the way I started. If you're a person who wants to find out about, and buy some great wines - who has some favorites but really isn't all that knowledgeable - and is willing to receive informative, detailed email offerings on a regular basis - WITH NO PURCHASING MINIMUMS - Wine Insiders might be the website for you. Check it out... wineinsiders.com. I've learned a lot never regretted it!
Enjoy your wines!

I came across the wine insiders groupon about a week ago, looked like a great deal, so I checked the reviews. Unfortunately, I couldn't find much. A couple reddit reviews complaining about wine clubs in general and the usual you tube reviews. "this is the best product in the world! You have to buy it, it's life changing! Just click my personal link below!." eye roll... I figured id give it a try and write a review for anyone else who was looking. $60 (75 originally, but groupon almost always has 20%off coupons) plus $30 shipping is only $6 per bottle... Here's how it went:

They have a special link on the Groupon that you click on, takes you right to your specific deal. Once you get there a screen pops up and asks if you want to upgrade. You can stick with you basic package or upgrade to "better" for $25 or "best" with rush processing for $45. I went ahead and I upgraded to best. It's still only $8 a bottle and the pop up made me feel like the base wines would be crap. My order was placed on dec 29th, but didn't ship until jan 2nd. I wouldn't call that rush processing, but since it was the holidays, I can let it slide.

I haven't gotten the wine yet, I will update this as soon as I do. I do have some concerns though. The upgrade package said the premium wines will be worth close to $20 each. The wines that showed up in my tasting notes ranged from 10.99 to only one at 19.99, most 15.99. There were also only 8 bottles in the tasting notes. I'm hoping they aren't sending duplicates... Wine will be here saturday Jan 5th. To be continued...

Unfortunately, they were duplicates. Pics below are the wines along with price.

Im not an experienced wine drinker by any means, but I can give you the basics... I tried the Boabrisa tonight, it was decent. Passed the swirl test and was fairly smooth. Definitely worth the $8 paid, but hardly premium as advertised. I'll update as I go though the rest.

I did email the company to let them know I wasn't happy about the duplicates and price point, we will see how they respond.

I was able to try the rest of the wine over the weekend. It was all ok, but not worth taking the time to write an individual review for each. None were bad, but none were great or even unique, oddly enough, the bottles were all very similar in taste and depth. Picture yourself walking into your local grocery store and grabbing a $10-$15 bottle that's one sale for the week. That's pretty much what you are getting here.

Here's where they lose my business. The customer service rep emailed me back stating that the upgrades said "up to $20" for best and "up to $15" for better. Sneaky sneaky... He also said that there was a link to see the wine you would be getting in each package. I did see these while ordering, but assumed they would just be some of what you are getting since they were only eight. Nope, those are the only bottles you will be getting. The images are v very similar to the ones below, except they conveniently leave off the prices. After a quick search on the site, it seems like the value of all the wine are basically the same. Looks like it's was just a $45 marketing scam...

So the big question: is it worth it? If you just want a bunch of cheap wine for yourself or a party, yes. The wine is decent and at $5 per bottle, it's hard to go wrong. (i wouldn't pay for the upgrade if i ordered again). If you care about quality over quantity or are a more experienced wine drinker, no, this isn't for you. Would i order again? No. The deceptive marketing left a bad taste in my mouth and there are many other companies left to try.
